01
Best overall pick
Donna D's Pizza
East Ashland • Family Pizzeria With Subs And Wings • Go-To Small-Town Classic
A longtime Ashland favorite turning out hearty, crowd-pleasing pizzas that are worth the drive from Sullivan.
Donna D's feels like the kind of place every small town wishes it had: generous toppings, a crust with some chew, and a menu that covers subs and wings for the non-pizza crowd. It is a reliable choice when you want something that tastes homemade but still travels well back to Sullivan. Call ahead on weekend nights, as the locals keep them busy.
02
Classic carryout choice
DorLo Pizza & Subs
South Ashland • Old-School Carryout Pizza Shop • Best For Classic Pies And Pickup
A no-frills shop known for straightforward, satisfying pies and subs that hit the spot.
DorLo leans into the basics: a sturdy crust, plenty of cheese, and a sauce that tastes like it has been on the menu for decades. It is primarily a carryout operation, which makes it easy to swing through Ashland, grab a couple of large pies, and head back toward Sullivan. The subs are a strong backup option if you are feeding a mixed group.
03
Worth-the-drive pick
Lorenzo's Pizzeria
Downtown Oberlin • Lively College-Town Slice Shop • Best For Big Slices And People-Watching
Oberlin's longstanding pizzeria, known for foldable slices, late hours, and a busy college-town vibe.
If you are up for a slightly longer drive, Lorenzo's rewards you with New York-style slices and a lively downtown Oberlin setting. The crust is thin enough to fold but sturdy enough to support extra toppings, making it ideal for quick slices or whole pies. It is a fun choice when you want pizza plus a walk around town instead of just a fast pickup.
04
Buffet-friendly option
East of Chicago Pizza
Village Of Wellington • Casual Midwestern Pan-Pizza Chain • Best For Families And Groups
Comforting pan pizzas, occasional buffets, and a laid-back dining room make this an easy family meet-up spot.
East of Chicago in Wellington offers the kind of thick, saucy pan pizza that appeals to kids and adults alike. The relaxed dining room and familiar menu make it a low-stress choice for meeting friends or family from around southern Lorain and northern Ashland counties. It is especially handy when you want to sit down, linger over refills, and let everyone pick their own toppings.
05
Most convenient delivery
Domino's Pizza
Ashland Outskirts • Delivery-Focused National Chain • Best For Late-Night And Rural Delivery
A dependable option when you want fast, trackable delivery from Ashland out toward Sullivan.
For the nights when you would rather stay put, Domino's in Ashland is often the most practical choice for getting pizza out toward rural addresses. The menu is predictable but flexible, with customizable pies, specialty pizzas, and extras like wings and pasta. It is not trying to be gourmet, but the speed, late hours, and online ordering make it a staple fallback for many locals.
